Paul,

Are most turbo compounding units axial flow or are there centrifugal
flow units as well?

Thanks,

Bruce Smith


Both have been used but the F1 guys are using centrifugal
flow. Basically just turbo charger turbines  with generator on the shaft.
Not the most efficient way of doing it.

The best is a gear box that reduces the high rpm to e-shaft speeds.

I have one from a DD15 with gear box from 40,000 RPM to 8,000 RPM.
Suitable for a 3 rotor that I will sell for $2,000. It is axial flow.
